Middle of 2024 updates?

We are 6 months into the year and I was wondering if anyone had any solid info on possible layoffs or the current health of Basspro. Sales have been slow and there’s talk of departments combining. Noticed a lot of areas of the store aren’t getting... — read more 

Bass pro Macon

Funny how this store has huge lack of communication between employees and management. They love cutting hours, all they want us to do is get credit cards. As we bust our butts they get bonuses, but can’t give us a pay raise. And favoritism is really... — read more

CLUB

Has anyone else heard that we will be getting rid of club managers and going to a team lead? Rumor is another department manager probably front end will be over club and it’s going to have a team lead now.

No HR representative.

The cabelas layoff went on years doing the same negative comme nts iby what souned like one person pretending to be different posters.

Now how did the Cabelas layoff site work out for Cabelas. Although i am pretty sure most people would think a site like the Cabelas layoff com had no effect on the outcome. I am pretty sure nothing positive came out of the site and hopefully no... — read more 

People stealing and ops support

If ops support would watch customers in the store and stop watching the employees then maybe the store in macon ga would not have to cut hours so much, they are watching employees to see what they are doing so they can run back to managers when the... — read more

Who to contact?

I started bass pro not long ago and the club manager is absolutely horrible to me. She treats me like cr-p and starts rumors. I went to HR but he is too new and out GM is never in the store.

Price increases but no stock.

Anyone have a better understanding of why price increase got insane over the last month for products just at bass pro and why the southern market is getting screwed on inventory? We have things marked 10-20 percent higher than at academy or most... — read more

Next restructuring

Aren't we due another restructuring? That seems to be the main tool management uses when they need to pretend they're doing something.

Macon store

Is pretty bad when they conserve full-time 37 hours or less. To me full time is 40 hours, and the management sucks they expect one person to do everything & know everything! Everyone that’s good has Already left or plan on leaving. In micromanage... — read more
